a ten-minute dream in the passenger seat

Because of the Narnia Midnight Madness last night, my Friday evening was spent catching up on sleep. And now here I am, filing out memes to pass the time.

20 Random Things About Me:
1. I have a thing for fruit snacks. Any variety will do, pretty much.
2. I've written in a journal of some sort since 7th grade.
3. I always sleep with two pillows.
4. I used to have a security blanket. Well, I still have it, I just don't sleep with it anymore.
5. I once thought I'd become a professional musician. Not so much anymore.
6. I'm really excited and at the same time quite nervous about going to college. I still have no idea what I want to do, other than learn.
7. Orange juice is an essential part of any breakfast for me.
8. I don't drink pop or coffee.
9. My B-flat clarinet is named Benny. And my A-clarinet's name is Artie.
10. I once read Benny Goodman's biography twice in a summer.
11. And then racked up $10 in overdue fines at the library for keeping it until November.
12. My favorite class in high school was definitely Honors English 3.
13. I have loved the PBS show Arthur since third grade.
14. My favorite candy is Chewy Sprees.
15. I am currently wrapped in a fleecy blanket.
16. Music makes me very, very happy. Well, playing it does. Other music influences my mood depending on the genre/artist.
17. My cell phone's battery spontaneously falls out while it's just sitting in my purse.
18. I can touch my nose with my tongue.
19. My right pinky finger was once slammed in a car door.
20. I'd like to visit (live in?) New Zealand and England sometime in my life.

And I was tagged by evathereal to do this one:

Ground rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "Five Weird Habits of Yourself" and the people who get tagged need to then write a LJ entry about their five quirky little habits as well as state the rules of this game clearly. In the end, you need to list the next five people who you want to tag.

1. I always wear a hair tie on my left wrist, unless it happens to be in my hair. If it's not there and my hair is down, I feel . . . weird.
2. I can only wear purses on my left shoulder. If I put them on my right shoulder, they fall off.
3. I organize foods that come in various colors (like candy, fruit snacks, etc.) by color and then eat them so their numbers are equal.
4. My nightly hygeine routine is always the same: take out contacts, brush teeth, wash face. I don't know why it always has to be that way, but it is. Maybe I'm a little OCD . . . ?
5. I can't take notes during class in pencil. It drives me nuts.

ETA: My year in one paragraph

I hate being cool with the exercise routine for a while then falling out of the habit.
Things I officially suck at:
1) Driving
2) Grocery shopping by myself
3) Understanding myself and other people
4) Making decisions, which at this point have become possibly life-affecting
5) Doing my homework in band unnoticed by the evil creature they call our director
6) Finishing my math sets without help
Sonnets are so flippin' hard to write it's driving me insane. So today was the first day back to school. Holy monkeys, how can it be May already?! Dear Colleges, Why are there so many of you? Good times with Sara today, although I ate a little too much for my own good. One more day of work! Ow, throat. Trip to Grinnell = awesome! What a day. So, tralala, it's December . . . And I feel like I should have something to say.
